This webinar highlights the Missing Migrant Program, exploring how the U.S. Border Patrol strives to prevent migrant disappearances and deaths, assists with locating missing persons and identifying human remains, and collaborates with various agencies and organizations to support investigators and provide answers to families of the missing.

The purpose of this 60-minute webinar is to provide details and guidance for potential applicants to the Fiscal Year 2024 Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) MUHR Program solicitation. The MUHR Program furthers the Justice Department’s mission of increasing public safety by providing resources to locate and identify missing persons and unidentified human remains in the United States. During this webinar, BJA provided a solicitation overview to discuss the purposes, goals, and deliverables of this funding opportunity; reviewed the eligibility requirements, solicitation categories, and permissible uses of funds; provided guidance on how to apply for the program; and addressed frequently asked questions. Additionally, the Forensics TTA Team overviewed the provisions of support offered to BJA Forensics Programs grantees through the Forensics TTA Program.
